Tawny Owl fledgling, Cumbria

Super cute! Absolutely love owls and this was my first ever sighting! This little fledging, just out of the nest, I caught while walking around Hilton, Appleby

Don't pay attention to the subspecies for most of the species (some species are exception!) - you have to have the bird in hand and even better - take DNA sample and proceed it in well equipped lab (but even then you could get in trouble because the gene fluctuations/mixing and whatever else).
First two - juvenile White-Rumped Shama, next two Red Crested Cardinal (has nothing to do with the Cardinals!) and the last two are that baby White Tern that I posted before - now ~two weeks grown! The Wite Tern photos in very windy conditions and badly overcast sky.

Great shots, as usual. I hope the labs are processing Covid-19 DNA samples rather than 19 subspecies of Corvid at this time.

Very nice series, ISv.

I hope that wasn't aimed at me!

Tongue in cheek? I think that one is harmless, unlike this one.

Both! You can't work on vaccine without knowing the variations in ssRNA (and the spike protein as result of the variations) of the virus. To know these variations you have to take samples and process them (and simultaneously obtain also results for the frequency and spread of the infection).

Some nesting Great Egrets I photographed in Florida last month. I masked out the birds and darkened the busy background in PS. Photographed with my old warhorse, the 7DMK2 + 100-400 II

Sorry for the wrong ID--that's a Snowy, not a Great Egret
